ORDER:

 

The question of constituting Departmental Promotion Committees with a view to securing maximum degree of objectivity in the appraisal of merit and ability of Government employees for selection to various posts, promotions to which arc outside the purview of the Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission, has been engaging the attention of Government for some time past. The Administrative Reforms Committee 1964-65 made, certain recommendations for constituting committees consisting inter-alia of independent members who arc unconnected with the Department involved, for selection of officers for promotion to Gazetted posts, which are not within the purview of the Commission, and al~ for non-gazetted posts in the Secretariat Departments and in the Offices of the Heads of Departments as also in the Regional and District Offices. The Standing Administrative Reforms Committee considered the recommendations made by the Administrative Reforms Committee at its meeting held on 23-3-1968 and commended the procedure suggested by the Administrative Reforms Committee for Promotion to Gazetted posts which are outside the purview of the Commission. The question of constituting the said committees, both to gazetted and non-gazetted posts, promotions to which do not fall within the purview of the Commission has been considered by the Government and it has been decided to constitute such committees, their composition being decided by the Advisers and the Chief Secretary.

 

2. The Government have decided that Departmental Promotion Committees as indicated in the annexure be constituted for promotion to the various categories of Non-gazetted posts in the Andhra Pradesh Secretariat Service and the Subordinate Services, promotion to which is outside the purview of the Commission. Government have further decided that though promotion to the posts in the Andhra Pradesh Ministerial Service is made on the basil of seniority-cum-efficiency, Departmental Promotion Committees should be constituted for the purpose of determining the fitness or otherwise of personnel for promotion to posts in the said service.

 

3. In case of other categories of posts in the Subordinate services which are not covered by the annexure to this order and promotion to which is outside the purview of the Commission, Departments of Secretariat are requested to take immediate action to constitute Departmental Promotion Committees on the lines indicated in the annexure.

 

4. In respect of posts in the subordinate Services for which rules have yet to be framed, Departments of Secretariat are requested to take urgent steps to constitute the Departmental Promotion Committees as soon as the rules are framed.

 

5. The Departmental Promotion Committees should be constituted well before the month of August each year so that selections could be finalised in September as required by General Rule 4 of the Andhra Pradesh State and subordinate Services Rules. The tenure of the Members nominated to serve on the Departmental Promotion Committees will be for a period of one year and there should be a change in the members from year to year.

 

6. Orders constituting Departmental Promotion Committees in respect of gazetted posts, promotion to which is outside the purview of the Commission will issue separately.
